[Device APIs Requirements] Input to Camera API

Re "Issue: Given support for capturing video, we need to take sound capture into account. Once that's supported, is there any reason not to support capturing sound on its own? If we go there, isn't this a Capture API, with the ability to list mikes? "

I agree. There should be a capture API which can take input just from the microphone(s) of a device. There are many use cases just for collection of audio input without any need for camera input.

Re "If the user requests a given capture size which isn't available, do we refuse or do we fall back?": I would suggest refuse (return an error). The webapp should handle interfacing with the user and making alternate requests if needed.
